Pony goes to the doctor, says I feel depressed, feels like I should kill myselfDoctor says, You need to relax, go see the great Ponyacci, it will cheer you upbut doc, he says, eyes welling with tears, I am PonyacciSaw a dead dog on the street today, been run over by a car, head split open. It was filled with friendship and magic

>>11456318Pinkie's journal, October something something, Year 1015 of Celestia's reign. Dog picture in alley this morning, cartwheel tread on crayon stomach. Canterlot's afraid of me. I've seen its true face. The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of nasty stuff. And when the drains finally crust over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their meanness and not being friends will foam up about their waists and all the whorses and not-nice meanies will look up and shout "Save us!"... and I'll look down and whisper "Smile."

>>11456853Let us consider that she was preoccupied by her own fears(of being seen as nothing but a monster for working with the nightmare forces) and wasn't that all effective against the nightmare forces with her season 1 mane. It wasn't until she had the support of the ponies she regained her full power and was able to defeat the forces controlling Rarity.

Everyone has these "scales" of when a character was good, bad, started becoming good/bad, was at their height, etc etc.

But none of that makes any sense to me.

Every episode has an individual writer to them. These individual writers all write the characters a liiiiiittle bit differently. There's no connection between the episodes and who wrote them. The writers don't collaborate and decide on who needs more development, who needs to talk more, etc etc. They all just write what they think the best episode they can write is.

If you look at larson, he has this habit of going back to older episodes, finding characters that had a LOT more potential to them, and making episodes that brought them back to life. Luna eclipsed brought us a luna we've never seen before, and Magic Duel brought back a poorly thought out antagonist and made her actually somewhat enjoyable of a character. It's this, and the other continuity that larson brings to the table, that makes me like his episodes so much. I don't see any other writers do what he does.

>>11456940Magic Duel gave us a poorly thought out conclusion.What both Boast Busters and Griffon the Brush-Off showed was that your not going to get along with everyone, it's a reality that should be portrayed more.

I don't think it was poorly thought out. He thought trixie had potential to be a more interesting character than "antagonist arrives, she's terrible and everyone hates her, they kick her out of town". Though the lesson of that episode is good I suppose, bringing her back was less about the lesson and more about the character.

>>11457009Hell i would almost say if it werent for spike being a secondary character it would be worse. At least in MMDW it blows Dash's ego out of proportion, not completely invents a nonbelievable character trait in her

>>11457062The episode spent way too long on pop-references and moved at a snails pace.The mystery never evolved much because they spent too much time pointing fingers.I'd say the part that really killed the episode though was the fact it had to be on a train. I'm pretty confident the episode was a result of Hasbro mandating the Friendship Express appear in most of the episode.

>>11457123it made no fucking sense why her friends would eat her cake, no matter how good it was. Especially Rarity since she already has experiences in trying to ruin her friends chances in a competition that means a lot to her, and Dash for that matter for similar reasons

On the whole "pointing fingers" point, I think the point of that was to emphasize the fact that Pinkie was using terrible methods of finding the culprit, while Twilight, who used logical reasoning and deductive skills, was the one to figure it out in the end. Though it was probably overdone.

>>11457123>I'd say the part that really killed the episode though was the fact it had to be on a train. I'm pretty confident the episode was a result of Hasbro mandating the Friendship Express appear in most of the episode.It's a Mystery Train tribute.

>>11457248>revengeWe didn't know how her career turned out after she left Ponyville until Magic Duel.There didn't need to be any reason for revenge it was just the writers acknowledging how popular the poor Trixie fanon had become thanks to Seth.

>Vinyl wants some of that hot guard stallion action>she disguises herself as Shining and sneaks into the barracks at night.>the next day Shining gets all kinds of winks and nudges from his men which totally puzzles him

>Shining wants some hot stallion action>goes to a local club dressed as Vinyl>gangbanged in the club bathrooms>Next day, vinyl shows up for a gig and puzzledly preforming for a crowd full of lusty looks

>>11457843Oh, also, the entire internet flipped their shit, one moderator on reddit spent an entire day making posts about how she should've visited reddit instead and how 4chan has done nothing to contribute to the brony fandom. Saying that if it didn't start here it would've somewhere else and would've been just as big.

Then she got countless tweets from bronies asking her to visit ponychan or reddit (She visited ponychan, faggotry was everywhere)

Mandomommy started drama with her, tried to make her feel bad for a card that /mlp/ sent her with a mandopedo joke, then Lauren basically told her "Fuck off I'm a grown woman I do what I want" but the polite version

>>11457926>the entire internet flipped their shit, one moderator on reddit spent an entire day making posts about how she should've visited reddit instead and how 4chan has done nothing to contribute to the brony fandomoh dear lord I almost feel sorry for missing this

>>11459574Well, she is. She Became Nightmare Moon aimply because ponies constantly ignored her, for fucks sake. She's almost tied to the same brush as evil itself simply because she was born with the power over the night. Even when she proves her redemption they STILL IGNORE HER
